THE EVOLUTION OF A REVOLUTION

The unique LEGO Education teaching methodology is based on Swiss developmental psychologist Jean Piaget’s constructivist learning theory?

LEARNING Powered by LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education

The launch of LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education in 1998 fundamentally changed the world of popular and educational robotics. Teachers everywhere experienced how the power of hands-on robotics technology helped to engage and motivate students across a wide range of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics subjects. Millions of students and three generations of technology later, LEGO Education continues to lead the way in educational robotics, with the LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 to inspire a whole new generation of students worldwide.

Ignite student engagement and energize learning through real-life problem solving. Engage your students in computer science, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Boost learning and help all your students reach their curriculum targets. With the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education hands-on, minds-on approach, the only challenge you’ll have is getting your students to leave the classroom after class!

KEYKEY LEARNING LEARNING VALUESALUES

AS JEAN PIAGET SAID … TO UNDERSTAND IS TO INVENT In his seminal work “Mindstorms: Children, Computers, and Powerful Ideas,” Piaget adherent Seymour Papert states that children can learn to use technology in such a way that it changes how they learn about everything else. This means that students not only engage with and retain knowledge about subjects in which they excel, but – crucially – also in those subjects that they previously would have seen as difficult or abstract.

MAKE IT MOVE

MAKE IT SMARTER

MAKE A SYSTEM

Students are challenged to design, build, and program robots that move using motors with rotation sensors. In five projects students apply mathematics and science knowledge to create robots that measure distance, measure speed, move without using wheels, maximize power to move up an incline, and move and turn to create regular polygons. Students will also apply their knowledge of simple and complex machines and use ratios to describe proportional relationships.

Students are challenged to add sensors to their robots to control behavior and to measure, graph, and analyze sensor data. In five projects, students develop robots that use sensors to measure ambient and reflected light, distinguish specific colors, measure distance from an object, recognize a touch sensor state (pressed or not pressed or pressed and released), and measure angular displacement or rate of change.

Students are challenged to design, build, and program robotics systems built from subsystems. In fi ve projects, students develop systems that move a ball, pick up and place objects, simulate manufacturing, sort colors, and communicate their location. Students test their system, gather data, and use that evidence to engineer system optimizations and improvements.
